BTR-50

The BTR-50 is a Soviet armored personnel carrier that entered service in 1954. The BTR-50 was developed in 1952 and entered service with the Soviet Army in 1954, and it was first shown in public in November 1957. BTR-50s were used by Egypt and Syria during the Six-Day War in 1967, and a number of them were captured by Israel. Both sides used BTRs during the War of Attrition (1968-1970), and BTR-50s, T-54s, and T-55s were used by Israel during the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Some of the captured Israeli BTR-50s were later transferred to the South Lebanon Army during the Lebanese Civil War.
